Important Announcements

Client ID Change

Your Client ID is the unique number which the Bank uses to identify you and map the various relationships that you hold with us.

  • If you already hold a DBS Bank Account, the DBS Bank Client ID will continue without any change.
  • In case you do not have a DBS Bank account already, your existing Client ID (which you used in the erstwhile LVB system) will change from the existing 8-digit number to a 10-digit number, as shown below:

Account Number Change

To ensure we minimize the inconvenience for you, we have taken care to ensure that your 16-digit Account Number remains the same. 

However, please ensure that you mention the complete 16-digit account number when there is any inward transaction into your account. In case the sender (or you, if you are filling any form or providing your account details) omits any digit or mentions any incorrect number, please note that the amount will not get credited into your account, and the incoming payment will get declined. Please ensure that the complete details are mentioned without any error.

For instance, if your existing Account Number is 0122334455667788 (which is 16-digits including the 0 in the beginning), the earlier banking system permitted the Account Credit to be done if only 15 digits (122334455667788) were mentioned. Please note that the account will get credited with the funds only if the complete number 0122334455667788 (with all 16 digits) is mentioned.

 

Corporate Account Tariff Sheet

With effect from the migration date, some of the Current Account variants will undergo changes in the name, requirements for Average Quarterly Balance, Schedule of Charges etc. The complete details of these can be accessed here

 

Fixed Deposit Account Details

The account number of any Fixed Deposit (if any) that you hold with us will change from the earlier 16-digit number to a 20-digit number with effect from the migration date mentioned earlier. A suffix of 4 zeroes (0000) followed by 1 / 2/ 3 will be added to the end of the existing FD Account number
